More Than an Entry Way: The Importance of Your Front Door in Washington DC, MD

June 6, 2014

We have all heard about the importance of first impressions and that you can’t make a second first impression. But what if we told you how to only need one first impression? Front doors are regularly seen as an important part of the home, but we typically only care about the color of our front door. In actuality, your front door plays an enormous role in your home’s first impression and can add to the value of your home.

Here are some thoughts to keep in mind as you give your front door and front entry a unique look:

Take advantage of doors that have etched or stained glass

Easy upgrades such as new hardware can make a huge difference

Lighting is easy to install around and above your entryway, highlighting great accents to your home’s unique features

Adding simple landscaping can also be a nice addition to your home’s front door and overall entryway

One important part to the replacement door process is making sure that your improvements look like they have always been there. A simple way to visualize what will look good on your home is to look at other homes that are the same style as yours. Getting ideas from these homes will help you determine how you can improve your front entry. In addition, you’ll see what may not work so well, saving you valuable time and money when it’s all said and done.
